Hi Jiaxun,

Yes, I checked it before send this patch,  the field LPA of CP0_CONFIG3
on 3A1000 is also read only,  we can see the related description in the
chapter 3.22 of Loongson_3A1000_cpu_user_2.

And also we can see the following description in the chapter
"9.45 Configuration Register 3 (CP0 Register 16, Select 3)" of
MD00091-2B-MIPS64PRA-AFP-05.04:
"The Config3 register encodes additional capabilities.
All fields in the Config3 register are read-only."

Thanks,
Tiezhu
